The video takes a long time to load. i think it took about 15 minutes for it to load on my computer. I just open the page and walk away for a bit, then when i come back it is loaded up and ready to play.

The first howl demonstrated I use from time to time.. I just call it a short howl and I don't use to much barking in it.. When I use it, I use it on a hung up coyotes.. I get two reactions from it. The first is it draws them in a little closer in more of a relaxed state so I can get a shot. and the other if I add a few more barks I get a more aggressive response and may bring them to close and to fast......

very informative. couldn't beleive how much different the recorded "pup in distress" was compared to your actual recording. Did you make that coyote pup a pet or just fatten it up to get a bigger pelt?

just had him for a few months to watch and learn. that distress was made when my daughter put a collar and a leash on him. He just sat down and cried. He was pretty upset. she took the collar off and that was the end of it.

In areas where there is little calling pressure Jan through Feb it seems to work. I have an old mechanical siren that I have used for years as a locater call. There are times I have had them come to that call. No two yotes are the same. No two areas are the same. This is a try it and see if it works game. I probably have blown thousands of set ups in 62 years, but I have also dumped a ton of coyotes. When I moved from the east open side of the state to the west rain forest timber side it was a whole new experience and for a while I was running dry. Just kept trying until I found something that worked.

Yes it is a hand crank. Think its older than I am? It works when the conditions are right though. It lets me know where they are, but doesn't help getting them out of the thick brush so I can get a shot at them. Problem in this state is we either have gates to contend with or no trespassing signs. Even the forest service is a pain in the rear when it comes to gates. Us old guys cant walk five miles like we use to. Guess its a problem any more no matter where you go. Back in the day we could go almost anywhere and we didn't abuse it, now look what we have to contend with?
